Prof. Voilte (Netherlands) : Quite some comments were made on training centers 
for aerial surveying. We urgently need the same type for remote sensing. I 
may mention in addition to the paper of Dr. Abiodun that the European Associ-

Chairman Brandenberger (Canada) : We appreciated that Dr.Voüte read the paper

Prof.Brandenberger (Canada) : I understand from the paper of the United Nations

President Com.VI Hothmer (FR Germany): The Amer Society of Photogrammetry 
has produced under r the chairmanship of Dr. Donald T. Lauer two most valuable 
educational remote sensing films on "Mineral en and " Vegetation 
Mapping". Prof. Hildebrandt, outgone President Commission Vil ISP, agreed 
to prepare a German edition, and Louis Laidet, Preseident Commission VII ISPRS, 
and Maurice Carbonnell, Directeur de l'Ecole Nationale des Sciences G$o- 
graphiques, were available for a French edition, Unfortunately, these projects 
could not be materialized as yet due to lack of funds. I understand that ASP 
is to produce a Spanish edition.
